Bi-Amp connection
You can use the front speakers via the bi-amp connection.
A bi-amp connection is to connect separate amplifiers to the tweeter terminals and woofer terminals of
speakers compatible with the bi-amp function. This prevents the back electromotive force (returned force
without output) of the woofer sent to the tweeter, which affects the sound quality of the tweeter.
This unit
Connect
For surround playback of a multichannel source, if you connect the center speaker, surround speakers and
subwoofers, 5.1-channel playback is available.
NOTE
• For speaker cable connections, see C page 6 “Connecting a power amplifier”.
• Use speakers compatible with bi-amp connections.
• When making bi-amp connections, be sure to remove the short-circuiting plate or wire between the
speaker’s woofer and tweeter terminals.

Serial remote control
In the Serial remote control function, a host such as a computer is connected to the unit. By sending control commands from the host to the unit, the unit can be operated, and the status information of the unit can be
checked both on the unit and host. There are 2 methods for connecting the host and unit, namely RS-232C control and IP Control.
RS-232C control
You will be able to perform the three control functions from the host by connecting an RS-232C straight
cable to the RS-232C serial terminal (9-pin D-sub) connector.
GThree control functionsH
q Controlling and operating this unit from the host (vpage 92).
w Sending the status information to the host when this unit receives a status request command
from the host (vpage 92).
e Automatically sending the status information to the host when there is a change to the unit
status (vpage 92).

Communication protocol
The following three data forms are defined.
nnCOMMAND
The message sent to a system from a host.
A command to a system is given from a host. Refer to the following table for the contents of “Control
command code table” (vpage 93).
nnRESPONSE
The message is sent to a host from a system if the ‘request command’ (COMMAND+?+CR(0x0D)) has
came from a host.
The RESPONSE should be sent within 200 ms of receiving the COMMAND.
The form of RESPONSE presupposes that it is the same as that of EVENT.
Refer to the following table for the contents of “Status request and status information code table”
(vpage 102).
nnEVENT
The message sent to a host from a system.
The result is sent, when a system is operated directly and a state changes.
The form of EVENT presupposes that it is the same as that of COMMAND.
Refer to the following table for the contents of “Status request and status information code table” –
“Status information command and Status command” (vpage 102).
Basic specification
The command by ASCII CODE, parameter expression.
NOTE
ASCII CODE which can be used is from 0x20 to 0x7F: the alphabet and the number of 0 – 9, and space
(0x20), some signs, and carriage return (0x0D) --- It is used only as a pause sign.
Structure of control commands
Each packet of a control command begins with the COMMAND and ends with the End Character “0x0D”
as shown below.
COMMAND
PARAMETER
COMMAND: ASCII CODE of 2 characters
PARAMETER: ASCII CODE (up to 25 characters)
End
Character
CR (0x0D)
COMMAND + PARAMETER + CR (0x0D)
NOTE
To confirm the status information of the unit, send COMMAND + ? + CR to the unit from the host.
The unit status information is sent to the host.
For “Status request and status information code table” (vpage 102).
Structure of command codes
Item
Value
(The hex value is indicated in parentheses)
COMMAND Indicate a description of the command.
PARAMETER Indicate a description of the parameter.
End Character ’CR’(0 x 0D)
The response time out is 200 msec.
• When a command is received, this unit responds within 200 msec.
• Allow an interval of at least 200 msec between commands when sending a series of commands from the
host. This unit will not receive commands when the interval is less than 200 msec.
• COMMAND is receivable also during transmission of EVENT.
• Do not send request commands from the host until this unit returns a RESPONSE.
• 1 seconds later, please transmit the next COMMAND after transmitting a power on COMMAND (PWON).

Explanation of terms
A
Adobe RGB color, Adobe YCC601 color
Like “x.v.Color”, each of these color spaces defines
a palette of available colors that is larger than the
traditional RGB color model.
Auto Lip Sync
If you connect the unit to a TV that supports the
Auto Lip Sync function, it can automatically correct
delay between the audio and video.
D
Deep Color
This technology allows expression of more number
of colors than the conventional 8 bits and can
reproduce colors close to natural ones without color
streak.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a multi-channel digital signal format
developed by Dolby Laboratories.
A total of 5.1 channels are played: 3 front channels
(“FL”, “FR” and “C”), 2 surround channels
(“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE” channel for low
frequencies.
Because of this, there is no crosstalk between
channels and a realistic sound field with a “threedimensional”
feeling (sense of distance, movement
and positioning) is achieved.
A realistic, powerful sense of presence is achieved
when playing movie sources in AV rooms as well.
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX is a 6.1-channel surround format
proposed by Dolby Laboratories that allows users
to enjoy in their homes the “DOLBY DIGITAL
SURROUND EX” audio format jointly developed by
Dolby Laboratories and Lucas Films.
The 6.1 channels of sound, including surround back
channels, provide improved sound positioning and
expression of space.
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signal
format that is compatible with up to 7.1 channels
of discrete digital sound and also improves sound
quality thanks to extra data bit rate performance.
It is upwardly compatible with conventional Dolby
Digital, so it offers greater flexibility in response to
the source signal and the conditions of the playback
device.
Dolby Pro Logic g
Dolby Pro Logic g is a matrix decoding technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories.
Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into
5 channels to achieve an excellent surround effect.
The surround channel signals are converted into
stereo and full band signals (with a frequency
response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to create
a “three-dimensional” sound image offering a rich
sense of presence for all stereo sources.
Dolby Pro Logic gx
Dolby Pro Logic gx is a further improved version of
the Dolby Pro Logic g matrix decoding technology.
Audio signals recorded in 2 channels are decoded
to achieve a natural sound with up to 7.1 channels.
There are three modes: “Music” suited for playing
music, “Cinema” suited for playing movies, and
“Game” which is optimized for playing games.
Dolby Pro Logic gz
Dolby Pro Logic gz introduces a new dimension to
Home Entertainment through the addition of a pair
of front height channels. Compatible with stereo,
5.1-channel and 7.1-channel content, Dolby Pro
Logic gz provides enhanced spaciousness, depth
and dimension to movies, concert video and video
game playback while maintaining the full integrity
of the source mix.
Dolby Pro Logic gz identifies and decodes spatial
cues that occur naturally in all content, directing
this information to the front height channels,
complementing the performance of left and right
surround sound speakers. Content that is encoded
with Dolby Pro Logic gz height channel information
can be even more revealing, with perceptually
discrete height channel information bringing an
exciting new dimension to home entertainment.
Dolby Pro Logic gz, with front height channels is
also an ideal alternative for households that cannot
support the placement of back surround speakers
of a typical 7.1-channel system but may have
bookshelf space available to support the addition of
height speakers.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a high definition audio technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories, using lossless
coding technology to faithfully reproduce the sound
of the studio master.
This format provides the facility to support up to

with a sampling frequency of 192 kHz/24 bit
resolution. Dolby TrueHD is adopted for applications
that put very high importance on sound quality.
Downmix
This function converts the number of channels of
surround audio to less number of channels and
plays back.
DTS
This is an abbreviation of Digital Theater System,
which is a digital audio system developed by DTS.
When playing back audio by connecting this system
with a device such as DTS amplifier, accurate sound
field position and realistic sound effect as if you are
in a movie theater can be obtained.

is also possible according to the decoder.
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 is a 6.1-channel discrete digital
audio format inserting a surround back (SB) channel
to the DTS digital surround sound through matrix
encoding. Decoding of conventional 5.1-channel
audio signals is also possible according to the
decoder.
DTS Express
DTS Express is an audio format supporting low bit
rates (max. 5.1 channels, 24 to 256 kbps).
DTS-HD
This audio technology provides higher sound quality
and enhanced functionality than the conventional
DTS and is adopted as an optional audio for Blu-ray
Disc. This technology supports multi-channel, high
data transfer speed, high sampling frequency, and
lossless audio playback. Maximum 7.1-channels are
supported in Blu-ray Disc.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is an improved
version of the conventional DTS, DTS-ES and
